From bestselling author Amanda Prowse comes a heartwarming tale of first impressions and lasting love.
Thomasina ‘Hitch’ Waycott loves living and working on the remote family farm and B&B. But she also wants more. To see the world. To own her own home. To fall madly in love.
But those are fairy tales, and if her life is a fairy tale, then she’s the ugly duckling. Her deformed lip, her crooked limbs and her weak heart have kept her from taking chances. But that’s about to change.
When Grayson Potts comes to stay, he’s unlike anyone Thomasina has ever met. He’s aloof, eccentric and exceptionally kind. He’s also totally unconcerned with the physical flaws that have always defined Thomasina.
The two form a bond that neither has had before. It’s possible that it could become something more, but Thomasina also wonders if it’s too good to be true. By putting her heart on the line, Thomasina may open herself to heartbreak. But she may also open herself to so much more.
This was such a beautiful story and one I adored. It’s not my “normal” genre of books but I am so glad I took a chance on ‘Hitch’. It was also beautifully narrated by the author, which just added to my enjoyment.
I wasn’t sure if this was for me, and whether I would enjoy it, but from the start, I was absorbed into Thomasina’s world and restrictions. Not that she let it bother, well too much. Emery was a complete pig and so were most of the men in this tale. They saw something different and were cruel. It made my heart go out to Thomasina. Then in walks, Mr Grayson Potts, and the story changed.
It was beautiful and light, and not without its problems, but it was like a sunny day with these two on the page. I just can’t believe it’s taken me so long to read and it’s my first by Ms. Prowse! I mean what an introduction! I loved it. I am looking forward to reading more from her!
Everything was done so eloquently and without prejudice. It has some humour especially when Thomasina and Grayson were discussing why he doesn’t like dogs! And then how it became their little private joke, and I was given the chance to experience their private thoughts and lives. It was just the little things in this book, that once they are built up just make you want more. It has so many messages woven in, but the one I took away, is it’s never too late.
I just adore the characters, and their ending and I do hope they are doing ok now.
Until the next time xxx
